2. In a small pan, brown meat and drain excess grease.  Season to taste.
3. Add frozen veggies and tomato sauce to meat, and cook on low for 3-5 minutes, or until veggies are tender.
4. In a seperate small pot, prepare instant potatoes following instructions on box.
5. In a casserole dish, pour the meat mixture in the bottom of the dish.
6. Using a spatula, spread the potato mixture on top of the meat mixture to make a "crust".
